This splits the computer state (blinking, label, etc...) and terminal
state into two separate packets. When a computer changes, the computer
state is sent to all players and the terminal state is sent to players
who are curerntly using the computer.
This reduces network usage by a substantial amount.
When printing on top of an already printed page, the previous contents
should be preserved. However, this did not occur as the stack had been
shrunk and so the item was no longer considered a printout.

- Cable and modem can be broken individually
- Ray tracing will go through "holes" in the cable.
- Pick block will determine which part you are looking at.
- Selection box will only highlight the region you are looking at:
modem or cable.
We know turtle can't be null in any of these places, since in preceding code,
we called methods on it, so we would have gotten a NullPointerException then
and never gotten here if it were null.
This meant one could perform various illogical actions to
non-full-blocks, such as connecting fences and placing paitings.
We also modify the behaviour of isOpaqueCube and isFullCube for
peripherals, only returning false for the case of modems and cables.
if you call write(nil), you will get the error "bios.lua:229: bad argument: string expected, got nil", so nil is not a valid argument for write() and should be removed.
Breaking a disk drive was not stopping the record being played as the
block event never reached the client. Instead, we send a custom packet
which starts/stops music at a given location.
We also remove all the plumbing for eventReceived/sendBlockEvent from
the generic block/tile classes, as they are no longer used.

This makes a couple of significant changes to the original system, to
reduce the number of threads created and allow for multiple threads in
the future. There are several notable changes from the original
implementation:
- A blocking queue is used for the main task queue queue. This removes
the need for the "monitor" variable and allows for multiple threads
polling this queue in the future.
- The thread used to execute tasks is "cached" between tasks,
significantly reducing the number of threads which need to be
created. If a task needs to be stopped then the thread is then
terminated and a new one constructed, though this rarely happens.
